KPRC 2 was proud to partner with Telemundo Houston from Aug. 23 to Sept. 19 for Houston’s part in the nationwide Clear the Shelters initiative driven by NBC and Telemundo. During this time, some Houston-area locations participating in the campaign offered reduced adoption fees or waived pet spaying or neutering fees.
Since 2015, Clear the Shelters has resulted in more than 551,000 pet adoptions nationwide before this year. KPRC 2 would like to thank our partners for this year’s Clear the Shelters event, American Furniture Warehouse and Air Tech of Houston.
